Ancestry Tree Charts – 9 Million New Records for Ancestry Tree Charts

As ancestry tree charts involve a lot of research and careful consideration, the more records we have at our disposal, the greater our chances of compiling a complete family history. Recently published online is a two-part collection known as Boyd's Inhabitants of London & Family Units 1200-1946. This is just a sample of the 9,122,481 new records recently published to the internet by the Society of Genealogists. Let’s take a look at the Boyd’s Inhabitants and Family databases, and some of the other new records the society has made accessible online for anyone constructing ancestry tree charts.

New Ancestry Tree Charts Records – Boyd's Inhabitants of London and Boyd's Family Units

These are part of a collection of 70,000 handwritten records of London families mostly during the 16th to 18th centuries. There are some records that date back as far as the 13th century however, and some that bring us right into the 20th century, making them excellent sources for researching ancestry tree charts. Originally the Family Units database was intended as an extension of the Boyd's Inhabitants index, but it was decided to combine the two as one comprehensive database. The 10,000 record Family Units section does cover a much wider geographical area than the Inhabitants listing, increasing their value as a source for ancestry tree charts.

Each listing in the Boyd's Inhabitants database begins with a single male inhabitant of London, and relevant data about him including his name, if he was married and related info (date of marriage, wife's name etc.) and what part of London he resided in. Some entries may even include the name of his parents and even the name of his maternal grandparents, where he was schooled, and notes on any children he may have had. As you can see, these registers can be very helpful in compiling ancestry tree charts.

The Family Units index is not restricted to information on families living in London, but could contain information on a male located anywhere in the world, as long as he had connections to England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland or in fact, the entire British Commonwealth of the time. The wide geographical scope of these records makes them a must for anyone researching ancestors from anywhere in the entire British Empire, and of immense value to anyone constructing ancestry tree charts.
